Book Review: The Time Fetch

Hooray! The Young Hoosier Book Club at NMS has begun! Our first book is The Time Fetch by Amy Herrick.  We will meet on September 7 during lunch, and I cannot wait for the fun times to be had!

The Time Fetch

Amy Herrick

Edward is supposed to find a rock for Science class. That's all--simple enough. But the rock he finds has magic in it--the Time Fetch.  When his arch-nemesis, Feenix, takes it from him, she enters a magical world with 3 hags that, in their greed, unleash the power of the time fetch releases millions of "time bugs" into the world that are quickly fetching time and destroying everything Edward knows.

Together, Edward and his new friends, must work to relocate the Time Fetch, and get it back to Prospect Park and call back the time bugs to stop their world from being destroyed.

I'm a huge fan of books about time, and this story was extra-attractive because it wasn't just time travel.  It kind of reminded me of the old movie, The Neverending Story--time is being eaten away into nothingness.

The four characters of this book are all so different, and the author does an incredible job introducing these characters and maintaining their personalities throughout the entirety of this book.  

As a Young Hoosier Book Award nominee for this year, I definitely encourage you to pick this one up---the sooner the better, because our FIRST Young Hoosier Book Club at the middle school will be about this book!
